I enjoyed the episode, but given the endless amount of criticism Moffat's gotten for his treatment of queer characters and issues, having Oswin describe her crush on another girl as "a phase" was…interesting. Was he trolling, or does he just care that little?

My mother still hates Jolie and Pitt for Aniston's sake. She also still hates Elizabeth Taylor a little for stealing that nice Debbie Reynolds' husband.

Or if you're on an antibiotic because of the risk of malarial infection in the area you're visiting, say. When they say 'you may have increased sensitivity to the sun,' they apparently actually mean 'you will become more tomato than human; carrying my backpack around the airport after that was a lot of fun.

Subway, Starbucks and CVS probably take up about a third of all commercial space in DC.
